Let me leave you with one of my favourite poems.
Inner Strength
If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when,
through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can always sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can do all these things,
Then you are probably the family dog.
– Romeo Della Valle
There’s beauty in being human! I hope that even though 2020 isn’t turning out to be a fun year, I hope and pray it’s a year that you won’t only survive, but thrive.
